This is a 7 day race that starts at Coker tire in Chattanooga, TN and ends in Bennington, VT. I got the opportunity to see the contestants at the first lunch stop of the trip in Athens, TN today and took a lot of pics. Heres a link to more info on the race.

The yellow chopped semi might be one of the most creative vehicles I've ever seen, but they're all badass!

Nice pics sir.

very nice rides and it looks like the weather was perfect for the lunch stop.
the lowered dually in the background caught my eye in this one too and a few other pics

That yellow truck with the peterbilt front end is badass. Were you there on purpose or did you just happen upon the event?

It is a peterbuilt lol. A highly modified peterbuilt not a big car or truck with a peterbuilt front end.

I just happened to be up there visiting my brother in law who is also big into the car scene up there and told us about it so we had to go.

Apparently this is the shop responsible for building the peterbilt.
